Its New Years Eve - Dr. Kay Scarpetta plunges into the murky depths of a ship graveyard to recover the very human remains of Ted Eddings, an investigative reporter. What kind of story was Eddings chasing below the icy surface of the Elizabeth River? And why did Scarpetta receive a phone call from someone reporting the death before the police were notified? She soon discovers that Edding's murder is merely the first layer of something much deeper - a labyrinthine conspiracey that will put all of her criminal and forensic knowledge to the test like never before. For Scarpetta, the real challenge wont' be cataloging the growing number of dead bodies but preventing herself and those she loves from becoming the next victims
